Well, I'm not exactly in the throes of homeschooling several children right now. I have a three year old daughter, one year old daughter, and expecting a baby boy. I have, however, written a lot of the info from the perspective as "this is what we plan on using," but I am definitely open to changing that in the future.
My interest in homeschooling began when I started college. I graduated in Spanish Education, but in the back of my mind I was always collecting golden nuggets of information about homeschooling, and what would benefit me in that arena (as opposed to a Spanish classroom in a public school). It has been my passion. I love reading, talking, blogging, and thinking about it. I feel like this sets me apart from many other homeschoolers, who started with having no intention before-hand of doing so. I am a planner, and am definitely planning on doing this! I have a lot of time to get prepared, too, and so I enjoy reading other blogs about homeschooling life to help give me a reality check.
I understand that homeschooling isn't for everyone, and shouldn't be! I went to public school and enjoyed it just fine, and came out as (what I believe to be) a pretty well-rounded person. I am fortunate enough, however, to have the desire and opportunity to be able to stay at home with my children, and devote my time to teaching them. My husband and I have decided it would be a great opportunity for our children and for us.
